a Double Tragedy.

About year ago Manhall Eas-
ley, who was living in Amity
county, Miss, returned TO his na-
tive parish of St. Helena, where
he secured work in Harst's saw
mill. On Monday a man by the
name of Swearinger, who was car
rying . gun, came up and engaged
in a friendly conversation with
Harst. A few minutes after they
we're joined BY another man named
Newman, who was also armed.
As soon as Newman came up,
Swearinger turned to Easley and
said: "We have come from Miss,
issippi to kill you," at the same
time discharging both barrels ol
his gun into Easley's body, but
without killing him.
Easley ran into the mill, got hi:
gun and riddled Swearinger with
bullets, killing him instantly.
Newman also fired, but missed,
whereupon Easley pursued him,
unaware of the fact that both bar.
rels of his gun were empty, some
distance, attempting to fire his
gun. and dropping dead in the act.
Newman, who is the only one liv.
ing of the trio, has been held fol
murder.

personal views of the men he met and
how they affected him. The hook,
Mr.. Beecher hoped, would take it's
place among the great autobiographies.
After completing it, it was whispered
among his friends, he would retire
from the pulpit and spend the rest of
his life quietly al his country home. 1t
was to be his last piece of literary
work, and the most interesting of all.
At the office of the Century it was
said that Mr. Beecher had agreed to
write an article on his first visit to
England during the civil war. 1t was
to cover his wonderful series of speech
es in the big cities on the questions at
issue in the Rebellion and give per-
sOnal account of his trying experiences
in Liverpool and elsewhere with the
anti Northern English mobs.

Look Out for Your Wells.

1t becomes more and more evident
each year that much of the sickness
prevalent in the country is directly at
tributable to the quality of the water.
By carefully studying the matter it is
found that in nine cases out of ten,
typhoid fevers originate in families
whose water supply is from we'll, in
to which impure water comes. This
may be from the farm yard, and quite
generally such is the case. For some
years the water in well near the
house may be pure and wholesome,
but by-andby the soil between it and
the barn- yard will become SO impreg-
mated with pollution that an un-
healthy quality will be impaired to it,
and disease will result from its use.
This is almost sure to be the case when
the distance between the two is not
great, because, us IL general thing, the
bottom of the well is lower than the
yard, and the drainage from the latter
will extend in all directions through
the most porous strata of the soil, and
when it reaches the well it will natur-
ally flow into it as reservoir. No
matter how pure the water may have
been when the well was first dug,
sooner or later it will be contaminated
by water flowing through the soil from
barn-yards and cess pools located any
where near it. We have in mind a
case in which four children died from
diphtheria. An examination proved
that the sl0ps from the kitchen had SO
filled the soil for distance of twenty
feet between the back door, out of
which they were thrown, and the we'll,
that the water in the latter was pollul-
ed by foul gases, and from. the use of
it diphtheria had certainly resulted.
When making Il well have it if posi-
BILE, above the barn-yard, and let the
drainage be from it rather than into it..
Arrange place for slops with &C.
ment bottom and sides, from which
glazed pipes, cemented together, allow
the unhealthy matter to flow off and
away from the well.

MIR. BEECHER.
His Books and Magazine Work.


Mr. Beecher. as is now well known,
had been exceedingly anxious for the
last year or two to get at and finish
what he often spoke of as the closing
work of his life, his autobiography
and the second volume of his "Llfe of
Christ" He had made IL contract with
Charles l.. Webster ~ Co., the publish
ers of Grants "MemOirs," to have both
ready for the press 10y June, 1888. The
closing volume of the "Life of Christ"
was tn be issued first. Part of it 10 al
ready in type and revised. Still more
of it is unrevised or in copy. Only II
small portion, if any, was left uncOm
pIeted at Mr.. Beecher's death, and for
that there are cOpious notes from which
the text may easily be prepared. The
work ON the book will he pushed now
more vigorously than ever and the
two volumes (the first being reissued)
will he published together some time
this spring Mr.. Beecher got $1,000
down for the second volume. His es-
tate will have half of the profits of the
sale Mr.. Webster said that there was
no fear of the "Life of Christ" not be-
ing completed and published elf he
had lived" he continued, she would
cording to the contract, tn turn in all
the copy and revise it in proof He
felt himself ahat he WAS practically
through with the book. We had even
got to talking about illustrations and
arranging for date of publication.
He called at the office here one day last
week and we talked the whole matter
over. He had some charming Pales-
tNla hsa in al h,Aa lie
ut home, and wanted me to use some
of them in the illustrations. He had
already corrected great part of the
proofs, and only delayed the last of the
copy because there was no great de-
mInd for it ut once. The manuscript
part is in good condition, think,
though | shall not know certainly un-
til hear from Mrs. Beecher about it,
| am confident that Mr.. Beecher's notes
if there is part unfinished, will be
good enough To carry the book through
to the ending"
The autobiography" Mr.. Webster
added, was impossible now, as Mr..
Beecher could not have written only II
small fraction Of il out. He had col
lected data, but everything was in "a
more or less crude state. The book
was one Mr.. Beeeher had plainly set
his heart on writing. He grew enthu-
siastic when he talked about it, and
promised that it would be II great sue
cess. He was tn tell the whole story
of his inner life, to give an inside his
tory, as he put it, of himself and all his
actions. lie would go back To his boy
hood and trace his education and his
early experience in their influence on
his after career, and with the course OF

Too many newspapers are organs.
They are started to bear something
down or bull something mp, in the
language of the stock market. They
are not legitimate newspapers. They
are operated by guerilla, syndicate,
clique, or combination, for a special
purpose, which is plain to be seen by
the world. Therefore their influence
is lost, and they fall to the level of a
matchmaking sheet or IA campaign doc
ument. Vermont has several such
